Popcorn Almond Fudge

As I mentioned in the previous post I had a packed weekend. But this did not stop me from making a sweet treat for myself. I am a huge fan of the sweet and salty combination and I am that girl that eats potato chips in her chocolate ice cream. I am also a big fan of chocolate drizzle popcorn. So what would be the next best thing....popcorn folded into fudge obviously. It was like a dream come true in one little square. I think that next time I might even leave the almonds out because I felt like they were somewhat pointless. If you like sweet and salty I recommend this recipe. This is the comfort food that I crave.

After melting chocolate and adding the condensed milk fold in the sliced almonds


Next comes the freshly popped popcorn


Pour into a pan and let it set up in the fridge


Cut into squares


Enjoy!!!
